"Ultimately, some brands may be forced to "redefine value beyond just ultra-low prices," the WSJ suggested."

When I see the absolute crap and mostly useless products Americans buy, especially with fast fashion, I tend to hope this move will put a dent in America hyper-consumerism culture.

But I also see how it will put some small business in deep trouble.

"Reduce. Reuse. Recycle." is in order of most impact, but society discourages the first 2 and pushes the last bc it's the only one that is compatible with #consumerism and Capitalism.

A shame, since reduction and reuse are drastically more effective and don't perpetuate a system known to cause harm to the world. Really makes a person wonder why 'recycle' is on that list in the first place.
